Proud and respectful are a couple of the words that come to mind when taking these wonderful tamariki (children) on our urban  excursion trip. What a treat for not only the tamariki but for Chris and I to have tickets to go to this inspiring exhibition of Swedish Artist Hilma af Klint's "Paintings for the Future".  What excited me about this art was that the tamariki could easily identify with many of her elements  of design. Many learning opportunities occurred, one of which was getting the tamariki to identify and recognize  the patterns and shapes that were prominent in the paintings. The tamariki were given  time to express themselves through their own art books and we also purchased a beautiful book of Hilma's paintings so we can share and use as inspiration back at BestStart Leeds Street.
